Refusing to hold Democrats accountable is also voting for Fascism.

As mentioned oh, so, so, so many times, voting for the least worst option doesn’t preclude holding them to account. That part comes after, once democracy is assured.

Except, people voted for cruelty and fascism to really stick it to the Dems. Now there’s worse fascism and no democracy.

Good job.

Feel proud.

From the article:

literally

Look; if you’re a journalist, pretend you know other words. I’m so fucking done.

I’m at the age where shit just needs to work. Some sort of remote desktop, or NAS or a combo might be the better easier route.

I get that. I don’t built machines anymore - time sink - and I don’t rebuild my kernel, etc.

But the synch you’re thinking quickly puts you into a tier higher than you may have time for. And a NAS gets you most of the way there as long as you understand and accept a failed NAS (or its OS, or a non-redundant disk setup) is going to hose your work everywhere instead of just on the one discrete machine you were using previously. You’re trading one risk for another, and that may be a big deal.

Re-examine your goals, and be really sure to separate what needs to synch vs what doesn’t (hint: user data synchs, most OS setup does not) and then see if you can carve out a decent solution with that. Maybe it’s as simple as an eBayed refurb NAS and another offsite for backup.

I like how there was an issue and so many idiots leaned into it.

Apple ][gs my dude. Go see

You’ll pry email from my #coldDeadHands, but I haven’t had a phone number for a decade.

Yeah. And the full root disk clone thing is honestly gonna be more trouble than value. Ensure the big-bang stuff is the same - packages, but even not perfect (as above) but just same-version where installed; and general settings - and then synch the homedir.

God help me, I’m thinking gluster between 2-3 machines, running a VM off that (big files so lock negot isn’t an issue) and having it commandeer the local vid for gaming. It’s doomed but it’ll be fun ha ha learning ha ha.

There are exciting ways to ensure some settings and configs are kept the same, too, when they’re outside that synched home space. Ansible if you like thunky 2002 tech, chef or salt for newer but overkill, or mgmtconfig if you want modern decentralized peer-to-peer reactive config management.

Compatibility and requirements:
Only works on phones with the camera2 API enabled;

Recent apks may not work on older Android versions;

Neat. What’s the check for ‘phones with the camera2 API enabled’ ? How ‘older’ is ‘older Android’?

I’ve seen fog with better definition than that list.

Nothing, we stopped signing credit card receipts

Ha! The comma splice makes it looks like you’re calling someone nothing.

With the hyphen, right? Please say with the hyphen.

back to water mills

Hydroelectric has grown up since then. See: hoover dam

gravity batteries where nice reservoirs happen to exist already

soooo, dams?

They called it an Axe Man, in my time. I’ve been at two companies hit with them, and I follow them AND the CEO who stepped down (once a reverted permanent one and the other a long-term leave) to see which companies are fucked next.

Not a word, my dude.

Latvia is not Russia

Yet.

And if you look on a Russian map, I’m sure it’s there already.

money to fix all the exploits in that spaghetti software.

This decade for SURE! We promise!

Libre Office.

Honestly - and flame away - I hate the name. I hate saying it. It’s the ‘moist’ of borrowed words. Leeeeeeeebr. And I’m a Canadian who did French up to university-level conversational “explain something for 20 min” French (from a gorgeous caribbean dynamo teacher, but I justif–uh, digress) so I know how to say the word and what it means.

And I still hate it. I’m a horrible person – even before I continued French study because the prof was so engaging and energetic and brightened every room and every day and made French interesting just on inclusion.

why not just do:

microsoft 365: 6.99

microsoft 365 + copilot: 9.99

Make the easy thing the better-for-sales thing, obviously.

But seriously, negative-approval has been a sales enabler for ever. People will often just roll over and accept it vs churning to something else. That’s why ‘loss-leader’ works, as people will start with one product and sunk-cost fallacy will keep them from churning as the vendor tightens the screw.

NO one using Microsoft is doing so by choice. If we haven’t learned in 30 years, then fuck us.
